IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
By all means plan ahead but don’t try to plan everything you do, in every area of your life, down to the smallest detail. You are at your best when you allow yourself to be guided by the bigger picture and the opportunities that fate brings your way.
Some of the visions forming inside your head may seem fantastic but among them could be the germ of an idea that has the potential to make you rich. Think of them as waking dreams, and pointers to what you should be doing next.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
A rival may be more talented than you but they don’t have your ability to focus on a task until it is completed, so the advantage is really in your favour. Employers and other important people will value your staying power more than their brilliance.
If a friend tries to give you some advice that you don’t want to hear you must resist the urge to snap at them. They are only trying to be helpful and if you don’t want that help that’s fine, but don’t attack them for it
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
You must weigh up all the pros and cons today before making a decision that will certainly affect your personal life and maybe your bank balance too. The bottom line is you don’t HAVE to make that decision right now － the timing is up to you.
If you find yourself struggling with a task of some kind today you must get assistance. You may want to do it all by yourself but it will quickly become apparent that isn’t an option, unless you are prepared to tolerate the possibility of failure.
At some stage today you will realize that something you thought you could explain logically is in fact so weird that you have to accept that you can’t get your head around it. Don’t try to ignore it though, because it won’t let you.
You will have to face up to an unpleasant fact of life over the next 24 hours, and then you will have to convey that unpleasant fact to other people who most likely don’t want to hear it. Let them know it’s for their own good.
There is no point trying to hide what you think as the new week begins because it will be etched on your face for the whole world to see. Let others know why you are less than impressed by their recent efforts, then help them .to improve.
The more you try to explain your motives to family and friends the less they seem to understand, so quit trying and do what you must. They are used to you going your own way and doing your own thing anyway, so it’s no big deal.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
You may be right to be suspicious about what someone has been up to but if you are smart you will keep those suspicions to yourself. Most likely what they have kept secret from you is of no real importance, so why make an issue of it?
You may think you know everything there is to know about how a friend thinks and feels but they might surprise you today. Chances are they will go completely against the grain when it comes to making a value judgment of some kind.
Draw up a To Do list and make sure you tick off the first thing on it as early in the day as possible. When that is done you will find it easier to go on and tackle the rest. Once you get started you won’t want to stop.
